Tell us what you are trying to do? Is there any documentation that you are following? Is there a similar example that we can see? I found this image from a Google search and it is from a Smashing magazine article What is the link to your site? |

Hi there. No, we don't have something like this built into WPML yet. This would need custom coding so I would recommend hiring a developer or a WPML contractor (https://wpml.org/contractors/) as custom coding falls out of the Support Policy. Mihai Apetrei |

I found this documentation page about creating and styling our own custom language switcher https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/custom-language-switcher/ It looks like the method described in this page might lead me to what I want done. I can take a crack at doing this myself. I just want to ask if what the above page describes is in the right direction for me to pursue? Thanks. |

Hi there. Yes, you could create a custom language switcher but the examples there just show a floating language switcher, I thought that you would want a modal that pops up automatically when someone enters the site. You are on the right track. You could also try to find a modal/lightbox WordPress plugin and use php or a shortcode as explained here: Mihai |

Thanks for the link. As for a modal/lightbox plugin, are there any you would recommend? |

Hi there. You are welcome! This is one of the most popular lightbox plugins: But I recommend that you search on Google, too, because there are blog posts that feature the top 5-10 most popular ones for any category. Have a lovely rest of the week! Mihai |
